Tino Livramento and Castello Lukeba are both clear objectives for Arsenal as sporting director Andrea Berta plans a major summer overhaul, according to reports.
Arsenal spent almost £267 million last summer to sign eight new players. Viktor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Christian Norgaard, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Piero Hincapie, and Cristian Mosquera have all arrived at the Emirates.
These signings have pushed Arsenal establish a nine-point lead over Manchester City in the Premier League, putting them in a strong position to win their first title since 2003-04.
Arsenal did not sign any senior players in January, but they are preparing for another transformational summer window.

The Times has verified Arsenal’s interest in Newcastle United full-back Livramento and RB Leipzig centre-back Lukeba for the summer.
Arsenal are’monitoring’ the circumstances of both players and appear to be increasing their interest based on exits and prospective prices.
Livramento has been considered as a potential replacement for Ben White, who is seeking a transfer to gain more playing time.
Livramento would be an excellent addition for Arsenal because he is one of the Premier League’s best young full-backs and can play on either side of the defence.
The Telegraph has reported that Newcastle might entertain a £60 million bid for the England star.
The Magpies are attempting to sign Livramento to a new deal, however he is aware of interest from Arsenal and Manchester City.
Berta’s other target is French defender Lukeba. He will be available for €80 million (£69 million) in summer thanks to a release clause in his Leipzig contract.
As things stand, it appears that Arsenal will prioritize move for Livramento over Lukeba.
After all, Mikel Arteta already has excellent choices in central defence, with Gabriel and William Saliba as his first-choice partnership.
